It works and it's here (in beta) now.

I don't use or care much about flarmnet, but I do recommend the 2.79 beta because it appears to have better pcas sensitivity and reliability and it allows one to easily update the display to 3.1, which improves readability significantly.



Sure wish they'd chuck those silly, useless pcas circles on the butterfly displays in favor of digital range information (like Zaon). I've suggested this, without reply. If you agree, or have a better idea, I'd encourage you to make your opinion known.

Where are the display firmware updates? I found the FlarmNet file for the
Americas (I registered a while back) but I don't see any updates for the
display. Will the default level of firmware cope with FlarmNet?

See "Displays" at bottom of page I linked to above for the 2.79 beta.
